Although existing studies on consumers typology are extensively conducted, insights on consumers typology in adapting their shopping attitude and behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic remain unexplored. Current studies on consumer responses to the COVID-19 pandemic tend to focus on the following themes: panic buying behaviour, consumer spending and consumer consumption. This study explores a typology of adaptive shopping patterns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study involved a survey of 465 Indonesian consumers. Principal component analysis is used to identify the variables related to adaptive shopping patterns. Cluster analysis of the factor scores obtained on the adaptive shopping attitude and behaviour revealed the typology of Indonesian shoppers’ adaptive patterns. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) analysis is used to profile the identified clusters based on attitude, behaviour and demographic characteristics. Results revealed five adaptive shopping patterns with substantial differences among them. This study provides in-depth information about the profile of Indonesian shoppers’ adaptive patterns that would help retailers in understanding consumers and choosing their target group. The major contribution of this study is providing segmentation on shopping adaptive patterns in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic which presents interesting differences compared with previous studies. This study reveals new insights on shoppers’ adaptive attitude and behaviour as consumers coped with the pandemic.
This study empirically builds a conceptual model that describes the effects of brand attachment, self-image congruence, and brand experience on purchase intention. The focus of this research is to examine the debate over the findings of previous researchers regarding the influence of hedonic motivation and self-image congruence in attachment theory-based models using brand attachment as the central variable. The contribution of this study is to investigate the relationship between hedonic motivation and self-image congruence because, so far, no research has tested the effect of hedonic motivation on self-image congruence. Attachment theory and self-congruity theory are used to solve this problem. The sample selection used a purposive sampling strategy with the characteristics of respondents in Indonesia who had used luxury brands. The number of samples that were successfully collected and tested included 354 respondents. The hypothesis was tested using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis technique. The findings confirm that hedonic motivation and self-image congruence are drivers of brand attachment and increase consumers' purchase intentions.JEL : M30, M31. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini mencoba mengembangkan model konseptual secara empiris tentang pengaruh brand attachment, self-image congruence, dan brand experience terhadap niat beli. Peneliti menemukan bahwa keterikatan merek dan keselarasan citra diri tidak optimal untuk perusahaan merek mewah, meningkatkan kemungkinan mereka memengaruhi niat beli konsumen merek mewah. Fokus penelitian ini adalah mengkaji perdebatan atas temuan peneliti sebelumnya mengenai pengaruh variabel motivasi hedonis dan keselarasan citra diri pada model berbasis teori keterikatan dan menggunakan keterikatan merek sebagai variabel inti. Penelitian ini juga menggabungkan teori keterikatan dan teori keselarasan diri untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut. Pemilihan sampel menggunakan strategi purposive sampling dengan karakteristik responden Indonesia yang pernah menggunakan merek-merek mewah. Sebanyak 354 dari 375 responden berhasil dikumpulkan dan diuji sampelnya, sekitar 21 kuesioner berisi data yang tidak memenuhi syarat. Pengujian hipotesis akan menggunakan teknik analisis SEM (Structural Equation Model). Temuan mengkonfirmasi bahwa motivasi hedonis dan keselarasan citra diri adalah pendorong keterikatan merek, dan dapat meningkatkan niat beli konsumen.Kata Kunci : keterikatan merek, kesesuaian citra diri, motivasi hedonis, pengalaman merek, niat beli
<span class="tlid-translation"><span lang="EN-US">In recent years, luxury fashion brands have experienced drastic growth. This study examines how hedonic motivation, self-image congruence, brand experience, and brand attachment are interrelated factors driving the purchase intention of industrial luxury fashion brands. Our research aims to construct a consumer behaviour model to complete the hedonic motivation process, which influences brand attachment and is influenced by demographic factors. The research model will fully predict the proposed model to examine the effect of gender, age, and income. The survey was conducted in Indonesia with a sample of 324 respondents. Multiple group analysis SEM (Structural Equation Modelling) was used to test the model across samples. The results reveal substantial consumer behaviour disparities based on respondents' gender, age, and income level. Research findings can aid the luxury brand industry, particularly the fashion industry, in comprehending demographic differences. It is crucial to develop specific marketing strategies to promote luxury brands, influencing consumers' purchase intentions.</span></span>
Purpose – This research determined the influence of utilitarian motivation, ideal self-concept, and consumers' perceptions on intention to use Islamic banking products by identifying their characteristics as Muslims. Methodology – This is a quantitative research with primary data collected from a sample of 367 respondents, selected using a purposive sampling method through a survey method. The data collected were analyzed using a Likert scale of 1-5 to go through the SEM test. Findings – It critically examined the utilitarian motivation to focus on research gaps and to determine evidence of the effect of the ideal self-concept capable of increasing intention to use. The result shows that both factors affect the intention to use. Originality – This research collaborated with two theories, namely functional attitude and self-concept. Contributions were added in the form of an ideal self-concept and the researchers’ relationship to utilitarian motivation.
The development of sharia products continues to increase globally, both in Muslim-majority and minority areas. Diverse cultural backgrounds influence consumers in making choices. Furthermore, there are differences of opinion in previous studies regarding demographic variables. Using functional attitude theory, the gap in consumer motivation from demographic factors in choosing sharia products. The novelty of this study is to emerge from three demographic factors: gender, age, and education level, as fully predicted control variables. Based on this explanation, this study aims to determine the effect of the relationship between the control variables on the utilitarian motivation model in sharia products. Quantitative research was employed on the primary data collected, using the analysis method of multiple group analysis structural equation modelling (SEM) on 362 respondents. The study revealed that control variables (gender, age, educational background) influenced sharia products. The scope of the research is limited, making the results of this study not maximized. In future research, it is expected to be able to expand the scope, use other control variables, and use other related subjects or objects.
